Course Overview

This two-day course shows how to perform various image processing techniques using the Image Processing Toolbox. The course explores the different types of image representations, how to enhance image characteristics, image filtering, and how to reduce the effects of noise and blurring in an image. It also introduces different methods used to extract features and objects within an image, image registration, and a few techniques for reconstructing images/objects.

Prerequisite:

MATLAB Fundamentals or equivalent experience using MATLAB®

  • A basic knowledge of image processing concepts is strongly recommended
